v Sugar Kettle.

No. 936. Patented Sept; 20, 1838.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

JAMES MALORY, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 936, dated September 20, R 33.

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMES MALORY, of the city of New Orleans, in the State of Louisiana,

7 have invented a new and Improved Mode of Setting Kettles for the Manufacture of Sugar,

' by which improvement the kettles are set in a more permanent manner than by any of the methods heretofore employed; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

As boilers are usually set in brick-work alone, the bricks at their rims are placed on end, standing at an angle of forty-five degrees, making a fragile structure which soon breaks down. In my improved mode of setting the rims of the kettles rest upon hoops or circles of east-iron,which I make about six inches wide and two inches thick.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a top view of four boilers, A, B, C, and D, as ordinarily arranged. a, b, c, and d are four castiron rims resting on the brick'work, and adapted in size to the respective boilers, which pass within and have their rims resting upon them. Fig. 2 is avertical section through the centers of the boilers, the furnace, and the flue, E being the furnace, and F the terminationof the flueleading to the chimney G. The sections of the iron rims are shown at (1,1), 0, and d, and these are so. formed on their upper sides as to receive and embrace the brick-work, which constitutes the ordinary divisions between the kettles.

. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The employment of rings of cast-iron in the setting of sugar-kettles, in the manner and for thcpurpose above set forth.
